yea, your a person who wants to abuse the "community" to get things you know are worth much more, at retail price.
And it's not mine and of course it's a lot of money, but once again...I DO NOT CONTROL prices nor ebay. Either you pay, or you don't. Don't complain about it just because you can't get on for retail price. Quote:
what if you want the set not because its a rarity but just to get alpine and a chrome cobra commander.
I was just trying to get the Alpine figure, chrome commander, and final piece of the MASS device for my kid. Simply put, I re-live my childhood through him (as I know many other collectors do to) Anyway, I moved on. I nabbed one today off ebay for $37.50 with shipping included on a "buy it now" auction. And, before that, and I just find this hilarious since you thought my offer was retarded, I did have someone over at rebelscum.com that wanted to trade the pack for my ToD figs. So, long and short of it - thanks for your time and your crummy scalp-errific offer Qbert. I am still shocked that you busted yourself out on this, as I had no intention to do so. |

the only modern Joe items worth well more than retail are the clear wraith and pimp daddy Destro. Everything else is just stored in warehouses waiting for older stock to clear out (sets 1-2). So everyone needs to combat scalping by simply not buying it. They will come. I'm paitently waiting. besides you can find most of what you really need from that set here on the trade forums or on ebay in seperate peices. who really wants to pay $100 for another duke and cobra commander?

GI Joe DVD Battle Pack Set #5 of 5 Best of 80s Episodes - eBay (item 120393279514 end time Mar-24-09 01:01:24 PDT)
GI Joe DVD Battle Pack Set #5 of 5 Best of 80s Episodes - eBay (item 120393279514 end time Mar-24-09 01:01:24 PDT) these are not my auctions or anyone that I know, but just as an example. People are paying this, I would not...but you aren't going to argue a person into giving you less money (unless your a member of that "community"). Quote:
Of course, there is a chance they will produce more if the demand is high (maybe), but I think it's not the case now because so many DVD packs warm shelves. The seller who is selling $29.95 pre-sales claims she has them in hand, and shipping mid-March. Well...we are in the end of March and research how many of all those pre-orders she has filled. ...good luck with that. Quote:

I'm looking for this set as well, but no way am I paying $100 for an opener. $40 shipped is as high as I'll go, and I think that's a very fair price.
Anybody paying $50 or over is just panicking at the thought of scarcity, and will never get their return back. Same thing happened when Hasbro ran out of Docs. Everyone panicked, but we eventually got more WITH fixed arms to boot (which I have for sale or trade BTW). |

They were here (So Fla, WPB area) for a while and then disappeared.
I passed on them at first as I only wanted Alpine, but did not want him bad enough to buy the whole set. Now I can not find him complete w/ file card for a reasonable price (everyone wants like d*mn near the cost of the whole pack for him :( ). I'm looking for either Alpine alone, again but complete w/ file card or this whole set myself. I don't even care if the box is mint or not, just complete.

I've seen ALPINE go for $32.00 not including shipping!! Lately on average, it was going for about $22.00 - $30.00 for him alone. |
